Before landing The Blood of Dawnwalker's lead role as vampire protagonist Coen, actor Will de Renzy-Martin summarizes his prior work in games succinctly: "I walk into a room, I scream 'grenade!', and then I walk out again."
It's a far cry, then, from the demands of playing Coen. In The Blood of Dawnwalker's prologue, we see his quiet village life torn apart. His loved ones are slaughtered and kidnapped following blood tithes to their vampiric overlord, while Coen himself is forcibly turned into a vampire and left to die in the sunlight, surviving only because he's left part-human. Believably portraying that traumatic descent is a tall order, as is the sheer amount of work required for the main character of a 40+ hour game.
